It's possible I'd say

I saw The 3D GameMaker in "ASDA" the other day in the UK, and it was in thier budget section for only £6.49

Can't see that happening with DBpro somehow though

For americans, ASDA is 'part of the Wal-Mart family'. Heh heh.
Its quite strange that you dont see it in stores but bear with it because DB classic didnt have fasttrak as publisher and the fact that pro has may mean that is is distributed through stores aswell. Heres hoping.

I presume fasttrak does not publish in the US as rgt did. In the UK I guess it's possible for stores to stock it if they deal with fasttrak and want to try to sell it. Dbpro is available at amazon.co.uk and proberly at shops.

FastTrak DID publish DB Classic, they only publish in the UK however. It was (is?) available in EB, Game, PC World. DBPro is not sold in shops due to the price and packaging. Stores like Game only take products in DVD casing, which DBPro isn't (when you consider the manual).

In the US you can get DB in CompUSA stores, Amazon and various other places. Our American publisher (not RGT!) is yet to pick up the license for DBPro but when they do you'll see that for sale in similar places.

The book will appear where-ever the publisher has distribution deals and is nothing to do with us.

Cheers,

Rich

Err, rich, i saw DBP in my local store? It looked legit and everything. I didnt buy it, i baught it off amazon.co.uk because it was cheaper

The same store sold T3DGM for £8 (which i did buy from them)
And sold DBC for £25 (again, i got my copy from amazon because its cheaper).

And yeah, iv'e seen DBC in PC World.

In Hastings you can find Dark basic For Beginners (Book), and I found Dark Basic (Basic Version), But I haven't been able to find Professional in stores.
